Ingredients
Soup:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 fresh jalapeño peppers seeded and diced (use two if you like more heat)
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels thawed if frozen
- 14 ounce full-fat coconut milk 1 can
- 3 cups water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Toppings:
- ½ cup fresh cilantro minced
- 3 pickled jalapenos sliced into thin rounds
- ½ cup fresh or frozen corn kernels thawed if frozen
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Add the coconut oil to a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, fresh jalapeños, and corn. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft and the soup is fragrant, about 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Use an immersion blender or, working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a high-speed blender and puree until smooth.
- Return the soup to the pot. Stir in the lime zest and juice. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with plenty of minced cilantro, pickled jalapeños, corn kernels, and coconut flakes.
